Baku. Hafiz Heydarov – APA. The video footage of the bodies of two Azerbaijanis recently killed in Syria has been released.

According to information obtained by APA, the body of one of the dead belongs to Sumgayit resident Rufat Ashurov, aka “Ibrahim”. It is also reported that Ashurov was a brother of Azerbaijani commander Nijat Ashurov, aka “Abu Yahya”, who was killed in Syria in 2013.

The second body belongs to Baku resident Araz, aka “Zubeyr”.

Earlier, APA reported about the murder of the abovementioned persons. However, the photos of their bodies were released for the first time.

As the situation became tense a large number of Azerbaijani citizens started to go Syria and fight against the government forces within various radical groups. Nearly 100 Azerbaijanis were killed in the battles during this period. Photos of most of them were posted on social networks by the Mujahideen.
